    Dain Dainja in portal. Would fill in nicely for PP!

    Underwood should have started Dainja against UConn! Clingan ate the 6-10 210lb Hawkins for Lunch!

    Wow: Men's Basketball is 13th Most Popular Gophers Team for NIL Contracts at the U

    It should bother us all as they stated the hiring of BJ was partly because of his relationship with mn high school players.

    Take a deep breath, it’ll be okay.

    Mbakwe was 11 years ago, Oturu and Robbin’s were finesse players. My point Is Payne was a monster on a team that has been undersized weight wise muscle wise for decades. Maybe they will find a 6-10 230lb guy who can give you 10 pts, 5 reb. It’s way more than those stats. Just the number...

    When we don’t sign a 6-9 255lb physical presence you will see why I said Irreplaceable for the gophers. We haven’t had a few physical players since the final four team, it’s been a huge weakness in the big ten. We run out finesse players year after year.

    You will see next year how you under rated his defense, physical presence, we now have none, and shot blocking helped our guards. He is irreplaceable and almost every team in the country would love to get him!

    Morgan would be a nice get but no replacement for Payne’s rebounding and defense.

    I have zero confidence BJ can find a big as good as Payne! You can find quality guards on most mid major rosters. Our only hope is another former top prospect MN high schooler wants to come home. And the only one I could think of is Dainja.

    Assuma is 6-3 and at least 185. He will be a nice option at either guard spot. Mitchell is pretty undersized as a SG.

    If Johnson was interested; that’s a huge miss. I love his game. Built like Mbakwe but can handle it like a wing.

    Hallman: Minnesota AD checked our box—he hired a Black coach. Now the question we ask is will Johnson be given the time and support to succeed

    If race played a role in the hire; was Johnson the only African American candidate, and if not, did others have any head coaching experience?

    Anybody else watch 6-7 Johnson of Totino and feel he’s a better prospect than McAndrew? I also saw him carry Totino past Park Center.

    2024 MN High School Basketball State Tournaments

    They basically have 5 interchangeable guards/wings and no post up offense. All 5 are super talented, could be the leading scorer on any number of teams. That there best and most SR player is very unselfish rubs off on the entire team. I am not sure it’s any specific design except to push the...

    Isaac’s FR cousin Isiah led the team in scoring today and is 6’ now. He may have more upside if he gets to the 6-3 Isaac is. Better shooter and he also has pg ability.

    Is it just me or does McAndrews look taller than 6-9? He has really long legs like a 7’ would have, maybe that’s why.

    All Things Grayson Grove Recruitment Thread (Class of 2024, Alexandria, MN; 6-8, 190lb; Gophers Commit!

    Grove looks to have put on about 30lbs since last season. It’s hard to put 30lbs of muscle on in one year. Let’s say it’s 15 of each, and part of the reason is the injury. He seems like a quality kid with some athleticism and skill. Players not in the top 100 don’t come in and play major...

    Johnson is 6-7 215 point forward. Sg? He is ver underrated. Looks a bit like Royce his one yr at Iowa state bringing the ball up and starting offense. Rated top 130, I’d take him over mcandrews, he could guard McAndrews, but McAndrews has zero chance of checking him.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT BUTLER NIT FIRST ROUND IN-GAME POST-SEASON BASKETBALL(!!!) THREAD!!!***

    Definitely would love to get bigger and stronger on the perimeter next year. Seems like it’s been since the final four team since we had physical guards.
